The project remains consistent. The data is the same in the controller and in the project.
Diagnostic functions (status, trace, etc.) can be executed directly. The project does not have
to be loaded to the controller first.
Note
A project that was last edited with a higher SCOUT version cannot be opened by a SCOUT
with a lower version. However, the project with the more current SCOUT version can first be
converted to the required software version (command: "Project" > "Old project format" >
"Save in old project format"). The project can then be opened with the lower SCOUT version.
However, debug information (e.g. for program status) is no longer available.

Platform replacement via XML export/import
Overview
A platform replacement is always required when an existing project is to be used for another
SIMOTION platform. The platform replacement is always performed via an
XML export/import.
The following devices can be interchanged via a platform replacement:
● Replacement between SIMOTION C, P and D (e.g. C240 → D445-2 DP/PN)
● Replacement between D410 and D4x5/D4x5-2 (e.g. D410-2 → D445-2 DP/PN)
● Replacement between SIMOTION D (SINAMICS S120 Integrated) → SIMOTION D
Platform replacement during project downgrades:
It is not possible to downgrade to a lower SINAMICS version. However, it is possible to
transfer project data by means of an XML export/import.
Preparations
Before the platform replacement can be performed, preliminary work may be necessary in
the existing project.
If a D4x5-2 is to be imported into a D410-2, then only the permitted quantity structure of the
D410-2 may be configured in the D4x5-2. This applies for all components, e.g. not only an
infeed, but also the permissible power units.
A D4x5-2 with CU adapter and PM340 can be imported into a D410-2 when the CU adapter
is connected to port 0. Otherwise, the topology will be destroyed.
Generally, the success of an import always also depends on the specific configurations of
the drive units, and whether the configuration is possible for the device to which the import is
to be performed. Also note any error messages that may occur.
